I've tried moving my teams to mattermost now twice and always we ran into the issue that integration for live meetings was painful. Neither zoom nor Google meets was possible to set up in an easy to use manner so everybody could jump on a call when needed

That suck and I'm sorry to hear that. We're releasing public beta for built-in calling functionality on June 15 for both cloud and self-hosted offerings, you could give it a try to see if it meets your needs.
I'd also still like to help you setup tools that your team already use if it's still relevant. Please talk to us in the ~Ask R&D channel on our community instance: https://community.mattermost.com/core/channels/ask-r-and-d
We of course use our own product every day and when I first joined the company in 2019 I also found that threading felt "bolted on". Primarily because channels rendered everything in the same linear feed regardless if it was a message or comment so there wasn't much point in taking the time to first hit reply.
However, Collapsed Reply Thread [0] has been a game changer for me and not only do I no longer feel that way about threading, my productivity would plunge without it. That feature has been in public beta since last summer [1] and will go into general availability in two weeks to officially become the "right" way to use Mattermost. Not to say that it's the same as Zulip, just sharing an updated perspective.
